 Sono Nis Press - Crispin Elsted
Crispin Elsted is one of the most thoroughly talented humans I have ever met: poet, typographer, jazz musician, composer, consummate Shakespearean actor and theatrical director.
In the sanitized world that the rest of us inhabit, where paper is made and books are printed (and sometimes it appears the text was written) by machines, Elsted has remained one of the best-kept secrets of Canadian culture.
Elsted seems to write with sound in his thought; the moods within these poems shift like key changes.

Elsted appears to aspire to this contemplative and yet sensuous company.
Elsted is talking about something here; he is not conveying its essence.

Teacher Crispin Elsted is "maniacally" concerned with expanding the school's book collection.
As a long-time member of the folio society, Elsted had written to the society's director Joe Whitlock-Blundell to ask whether there might be some returned or slightly damaged books which might be donated to the school library.

Another of their efforts, Geoffrey Dowding's Finer Points in the Spacing & Arrangement of Type, is a short, practical treatise from the sixties, elegant in a more workmanlike way, which, being a reference book more purely, should have been smaller and handier, but ah well.
Both books have charming introductions, Dowding's by Crispin Elsted and Tschichold's by Robert Bringhurst; Bringhurst's introduction is also informative.
The prospective disciple of Tschichold should immediately obtain (while stocks last!) the master's Treasury of Alphabets & Lettering, recently reissued in paper covers by the British art publisher, Lund Humphries, and newly introduced by Ben Rosen.
